Birds in other languages... (was Re: BCF)

  Oh, no. This would be a very BAD idea.

  In the history of bad ideas, this would be near the very top. Next to
seeing what would happen if you flew a few planes into a pair of
buildings.


A crass analogy in light of past events but point made though.


  The entire world has a majority concept of what birds, or vögeln,
ptitsi, ornithoi, etc., are... and sauropods frankly do not cut the cake.


"Ptitsi" and "ornithoi" are what languages?  Just curious...

Nor do *Agilisaurus* or *Eoraptor*, etc. I like the idea of bird-lke
anatomy in taxonomy, it's fun, and would favor Ornithotarsi, but the word "bird" and all its incarnations has, to my knowledge, a very 
applied and structured concept.

What is the reference for Ornithotarsi?
